ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
SUMMER SESSIONS 1958
There will be three sessions tlie suiiinier of 1958, two of three
weeks each and one of six weeks. The ]>re-session will begin on
Monday, June 9, and extend through I'Viday, June 27. The main

Students may earn three credits in the pre and post-sessions

TEACHERS IN SERVICE
in view of the critical need for qualified teachers and the prom-
ise of better salaries for those who hold degrees or who are properly
certified it is in your interest and in the interest of the school you
serve to further your education. The summer session program at
Indiana is planned to enable you to continue work toward a degree,
to make your provisional certificate permanent, to acquire the neces-
sary credits to add another field to your certification as well as to
enable graduates of arts colleges to secure credits toward certification.
Individuals who plan to complete their degree or their require-
ments for certification at Indiana but who have taken work at another
college or colleges should have an official transcript of this work
sent to the Dean of Instruction. An evaluation of these and other
credits may be made to determine what is required for graduation or
certification. Address any other inquiries you may wish to make
to the Dean of Instruction.
SUMMER GRADUATION
In the summer of 1957 we instituted the plan of holding a sum-
mer graduation exercise for the benefit of those students who
complete their work during the sumtner sessions. The summer com-
mencement for 1958 will be held on Sunday afternoon, August 24.
The responsibility for graduation rests upon students. All students
who plan to graduate in the summer of 1958 should write or call at
TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
the office of the Dean of Instruction to secure appHcation forms for
graduation. These forms properly filled in must be returned to the
office of the Dean of Instruction not later than the first week of
the main summer session which begins June 30. 1958.
RELAXATION AND RECREATION AT INDIANA
Accent on the finest in recreational activities combined with a
pleasant environment and favorable climatic factors make the college
at Indiana an ideal spot for summer study and relaxation.
The very nature of the summer session provides many sources
of entertainment. A notable example of this is the Summer Theater
Guild in which students participating in the regular summer drama
workshop, together with people from the community and imported
actors and directors, will present at least six full length plays during
the main session. In the past these productions have been acclaimed
equal to or surpassing professional and summer stock performances.
Present plans for the summer of 1958 call for the continuation
of the Summer Theater Guild program in Fisher Auditorium. This
college-community summer theater will present at least six full length
plays each for four nights a week. Students of the Main Session
will receive tickets for admission to all six of these plays on their
activity card. Last sumer students thoroughly enjoyed the presen-
tation of "Tea and Sympathy," "Jezebel's Husband," "The Rain-
maker," "Tons of Aloney," "Bus Stop," and "By Hex." Plays for
this summer wdll be of equally high quality.
An exceptional simimer lecture series has been developed as a
convocation program. Attendance is voluntary, but these events
have proved to be one of the highlights of the summer program. Last
summer's series included :
1. Dr. John Russel Brown — Lecturer in English
University of Birmingham, England
"The Theatre's Interpretation of Shakespeare"
2. Dr. A jay Kumar Bose
Institute of Technology, Kaaragpur, India
"India — Its Life and People"
3. Ivan Sanderson — Television Personality
Frequent guest on Garry ]^Ioore TV Show
"Adventures of a Roving Zoologist"
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
4. Hal Holbrook
"Mark Twain" — a Cliaracterization
5. Tatsuo Minagawa — Lecturer in History of Music and
Musicology
Tokyo L'niversity of the Arts, Tokyo, Jai)an
"Japanese Music — An Interjjretation through Theory and
Performance"
6. Helen Hall
Roving Reporter for XBC "Monitor"
"A Woman's Eye \ iew of tlie Soviets" — illustrated lecture
7. Charles Eggert
"A Canyon Voyage" — an illustrated wide-screen lecture
Xo attempt is made to have all summer session students partici-
pate in all activities, but the recreation program is ample and varied
enough so that each individual may find an interesting outlet for
his particular tastes and desires. The recreation program has been
developed by a student- faculty committee. Tentative plans for the
1958 sessions include many of the old favorite activities of previous
summer sessions and some new ones suggested by former students.
The entire Indiana area has many places that are of great natural
or historic interest. Buses will be chartered for visits and field trips
to many of these places. jNIusic fans may get a group together to
attend the Civic Light Opera at Pittsburgh. They may be joined by
a group more interested in professional baseball at Forbes Field.
Several trips will be organized to go to Cook's Forest, Baker's ]^Ian-
sion at Altoona, and other points depending upon student interests
and suggestions to the committee in charge. Several departmental
seminars will be scheduled with invited discussion leaders.
Morning pickups in the Dining Hall where students meet for a
snack and conversation several times each week have been so popular
during the last few summers that they will be continued and im-
proved. Campus picnics and steak fries have also been popular and
will be continued. The Auditorium patio will provide the setting
for a number of square dances. Evening informal dances will be
held in the Student L'nion now located in W'hitmyre Hall.
Much of the summer recreation program centers at the College
Lodge near Indiana where many ]ncnics, outings, steak fries, in-
formal parties and hikes are held in a woodland environment. On
the campus proper there are many facilities for swimming and games
such as bowling on the green, archery, croquet, badminton, and soft-
TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
ball, while indoors the Student Union provides an attractive setting
for formal and informal dances and the reception lounge in John
Sutton Hall provides a comfortable area for cards, singing, or visit-
ing. Other lounges in John Sutton Hall and Whitmyre Hall are
provided as places for meeting friends, visiting, or just reading or
loafing. Several television sets provided by the Alumni Association
are available for student use in well located places.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Registration. Students are expected to register on the first day
of each session. All questions pertaining to fees, programs of classes,
and room assignments should be settled so that classes may run on
full time the day following registration. In the Pre- Session and

of John Sutton Hall from where porters will deliver them directly
to student rooms. Baggage should be plainly marked with names
and room numbers if assignments have been made.
At the time of registration students should :
1. See the Dean of Women or Dean of Men and get room as-
signments.

the director of special departments.
3. See the Registrar in Keith School Gymnasium and pay fees.

ally designated for courses taken.
Class Hours. In general all class work will be completed before

run to 9 :30 and then resume at 10 :30 and run to 12 o'clock. In the
main session classes begin at 7 :45 a.m. and close at 12 :20 p.m., each
period being 90 minutes including time for changing classes. Some
laboratory periods, field trips, practice periods for musical organ-
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
izations, and similar activities are conducted in the afternoon. Each
student should make certain that he can adjust his time to these
periods as arranged Ijcfore makint^^ his j)roj,^ram. The time followed
will he that of th'' Indiana Comnuuiily.
Student Living Conditions. Indiana is characteristically a board-
ing institution in the sense that it i)rovides living accommodations for
its students. Those who live in Indiana and vicinity are enrolled as
day students. The excellent roads leading to Indiana enable many
more students to live at home than was formerly the case. Students
who are not living at home are usually required to live at the college.
Students whose homes are not in Indiana and who desire to live with
relatives in Indiana as day students must have the approval of the
President in advance of registration. Except in very unusual in-
stances, approved by the President, women students are not per-
mitted to room or board with private families who are not relatives.
Slight illnesses are cared for in the college infirmary without
charge for a period of three days. After three days, a charge includes
the regular nurse and medical services, but does not include special
nurse or special medical service.
Students and teachers are responsible for meals of their guests
at current transient rates. They must be registered with the House
Director by the person or persons entertaining them.
All students who live in the college must provide themselves
with blankets, as the college furnishes only the linen and counter-
panes. Each student must also provide window curtains, table nap-
kins, soap, towels and needful toilet articles.
Clothing. To enjoy sports activities such as hiking, swimming,
and tennis, women students will find slacks, comfortable shoes, swim
suits, and shorts very useful.
Summer activities usually include a party for which a summer
evening dress is suitable. For all other occasions, cool, comfortable
dresses and spectator sports clothes will meet all needs.
Placement Service. The services of the Placement Bureau are
available to all students of the college who receive certification. The
directors of the various departments take active interest in the place-
ment of their graduates. Coordination of effort is secured through
a central committee. The Bureau supplies credentials to employers
who are seeking applicants for positions and serves as a center where
graduates may keep their records up-to-date. Alumni are using the
Bureau increasingly. Teaching positions are not guaranteed bv the
8 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
college, but Indiana's record of placement is among the very best in
Pennsylvania.
COURSES FOR THE SUMMER SESSION
The six curricula are published only in part in this bulletin.
They are printed in full with brief descriptions of each course in the
1957-1959 catalog available upon request. Any course v^dll be taught
in the summer if there is sufficient demand. It is very important,
therefore, that students make known their desires in advance.
Courses listed on the center pages of this bulletin seem certain
to be offered, as will others for which there are enough advance re-
quests. Except in special subjects or majors in the secondary field,
ten students are necessary to justify a class. The college will be
under no obligation to give any course in which fewer than ten are
enrolled on opening day.
WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS
A number of workshops and seminars are being featured in the
course offerings for the 1958 summer sessions. These unusual learn-
ing opportunities are especially adapted to meet the need of people
interested in elementary education, dramatics, educational television,
creative writing, conservation, and Pennsylvania History.
Television Workshop. For the fourth successive summer a work-
shop in television education will be offered in the pre-session, carry-
ing three hours of credit. Its aim is to train teachers in the use and
appreciation of television as a medium of instruction in the classroom.

will have experience in writing, producing and acting in several in-
class productions. Opportunity will be provided for observations in
commercial stations as well as at WQED, Pittsburgh's education out-

Drama Workshop. For the past six summers the college has con-
ducted a ver}' successful drama workshop which has attracted wide-
spread attention. Sets, make-up, properties, publicity and ticket dis-
tribution are among the important and exacting duties in the day's
work for those in the workshop. Six full-length plays of good quality,
given during the main session, offer opportunity for acting, prompt-
ing and assisting in many phases of production.
Tile drama workshop cooperates w'ith the Summer Theater
Guild, a cdjlege-community summer theater project which uses
college facilities in Fisher Auditorium for the presentation of the six
plays. The Sunday edition of the Neiv York Times regularly carries
notices of its offerings. Guild personnel will again include com-
munity people and some imported actors, directors, and technical
specialists. W orking with these people provides excellent experience
in dramatics for college students and yields from three to nine hours
of credit.
Creative Writing Workshop 3 cr.

the needs of anyone interested in im])roving his writing skills, whether
his motive be personal enjoyment, improvement of teaching ability,
or professional publication. The form or forms the writing will take
10 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN

in conference with the instructor.
Creative Dramatics and Story Telling Workshop 3 cr.

fered in the post-session, carrying three credits. The course is de-
signed for both elementary and secondary teachers. Each student
will concentrate on specific subject areas in his own curriculum.

meet the needs of teachers and leaders in conservation activities. The
program has been organized to make the material and subject matter
suitable to school teachers for effective use in the classroom. Teaching
aids, outlines, bulletins, and bibliographies will be available for both
secondary and elementary teachers. Since the class is usually com-
posed of teachers from widely varied fields, generous use is made of
the background and experience of the class members. The informal
atmosphere of the field trips and lecture periods encourages student
participation.
Pennsylvania History Workshop 3 cr.
This workshop will feature a conducted chartered bus tour to
various points of historical interest in Pennsylvania. The tour may
include side trips to Williamsburg and the Jamestown Festival to

THE ART DEPARTMENT
The Summer Studios in Art provide courses for teachers in
